Abuja, Aug. 13, 2025- Nigeria recorded a significant drop in fuel consumption in June 2025 with total fuel evacuation falling to 1.44 billion litres.
This was against the 1,440,768,129 litres recorded in May, a 16.42 per cent decrease.
The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority reported this on Wednesday.
“The total fuel evacuation for June was precisely 1,440,768,129 litres, representing a 16.42 per cent decrease, compared to May’s total supply of 1,768,812,804 litres, a drop of over 290 million litres,” he stressed
He said the figure represented a daily average evacuation of 48,025,604 litres which is obtained by dividing the total monthly volume by the 30 days in the month under review.
The NMDPRA reports, however, said there was a 1.73 per cent increase in diesel supply in June which stood at 432.18 million litres against the 424.83 million litres supplied in May.
In spite of the increased supply, diesel distribution (truck-out) declined by 23.23 per cent falling from 552.35 million litres in May to 424.06 million litres in June.
The report said Kerosene supply and distribution recorded a 13 per cent drop in June at 7.79 million litres, down from nearly nine million litres in May.
The sharpest decline was seen in automotive gasoline supply which dropped by nearly 48 per cent from 72.36 million litres in May to 37.66 million litres in June.
Its distribution also fell by 16.54 per cent duringthe same period.
The NMDPRA’s report gave a detailed fuel truck-out volumes to the states from the total evacuation of 1.44 billion litres in June.
“Lagos received the highest volume at 205.66 million litres, followed by Ogun with 88.69 million litres, the Federal Capital Territory with 77.51 million litres, and Oyo with 72.81 million litres.
“The decline in overall supply and distribution suggests continued challenges in the petroleum midstream and downstream sectors, impacting national fuel consumption patterns in June,” the report said.
